A star duo has created a stunning "fingerprint" in space. ✨ NASA's James Webb Space Telescope unveiled the remarkable sight in a new image released Tuesday. At least 17 dust rings appear to radiate from a pair of stars. The pair of stars, known as Wolf-Rayet 140, is located more than 5,000 light years from Earth. According to NASA, each ring was created when the stars became close enough for their stellar winds to met – compressing gas and forming dust. This happens about once every eight years, NASA says, so the rings display the passage of time. "The shells of dust are formed each time the stars reach a point in their orbit where they are closest to each other and their stellar winds interact," Ryan Lau, an astronomer at NSF’s NOIRLab and lead author of a new study about Wolf-Rayet 140, wrote in a NASA blog post. 📷: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
